I cannot imagine that this university would ever enroll a pervert, knowingly, an unrepentant one. I cannot imagine this university ever tolerating on its campus one day or one week any adulterer or fornicator or pervert unrepentant. I underscore, “unrepentant,” because all these sins can be wiped out pretty well, if there's repentance. But unrepentant sinners have no place on the campus of the Brigham Young University. If they’re repentant, there's great tolerance and understanding and the brethren always will err on the side of leniency, I know.
